Deported because of a Social Media Post

Am sure most of you have heard the story that went vial of the Indian
national who visited Makka and was reported and arrested by the commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the
Prevention of Vice, the religious police, and an investigation was launched. Link

The Kaaba was described on
his facebook page as a Hindu Temple. The most sacred holy place on earth.

The reporting of this
while incident should have been more of an educational trip towards learning
what the Kaaba and Islam are, in my opinion deporting him for doing such thing wasn’t
the right move, not only this national is back in his country having all the
bad thoughts about what just happened, also would not be believing that Islam
is a forgiving religion.

Instead, he should have
been educated and advised to remove the image or caption to: the Kaaba.

Sometimes things on
social media can make a great impact such as this one, but reading things made me think how much social media can really be a reason for people to have a thought that they can stick to so strongly. Unfortunately.
